I went to a hidden shrine
deep in the woods.
I told the sage there that
nothing I do works,
and it feels like
I’m going nowhere,
and everything I do
is pointless
and means nothing
in the end.
He told me this:
“It
would be foolish
to
think
you’ve
made mistakes
for
failing to do
what
no person
has
truly done.”
“Then where do I find meaning
in this world, oh mighty sage?” I asked.
“It’s
simple,”
he
said.
“Get
more money, idiot.
Have
you considered investing?”
And so I put all my money
in bio-medical technology stocks,
and although my investment
has nearly doubled itself in a miraculous fashion,
I’m still pretty sure
that sage was actually
just a low-level stock broker
in
the woods.
